And now that you know why I´m leavin´ And your mum´s Yelling out That she hopes I don´t come back
Of course she would say that
Don´t forget what I told you about your demons They´re just thoughts In your head While you sleep No more than that Now fetch my duffle bag
If my ride ain´t here, then it´s coming I can feel it not so far away And I know you´re angry, young´in Dry your eyes up Or you won´t see Big dog walking away
Now if you think I´m chasing the seasons Like a van is some place to be
I´m your stepdad And I know they say I´m scheming or leaving Dreaming my life away But if you see my name in the headlines And they´re all pissing on me I´m your stepdad And I know they say I´m frail and broken But you can´t treat your mom that way
I´ll tell you how I got to Memphis Saw your mom On a TV show And that was that Both my bags were packed
I could put you to sleep Just by reading Turn the living room
Into an avalanche I loved to make you laugh
If the paps ain´t here Then they´re coming I can hear their flashes blast away And I know you´re tired, young´in Time to wise up Or you won´t see What your dad does for pay
Now if you think I´m chasing the seasons Like a van is some place to be I´m your stepdad And I know they say I´m scheming or leaving Dreaming my life away But if you see my name in the headlines And they´re all pissing on me
I´m your stepdad And I know they say I´m frail and broken But you can´t treat your mom that way
